About: I have grown up with every kind of animal and love them all! I have taken care of many peoples pets and will take great care of any pet I work part time so I’m always looking for things to do on my days off. I love being outside so I’d love to take your animal on however long of a walk they want I have a fenced yard and a very loving dog that is always ready to play. Most of the time that they are outside I’m out there with them playing.

About: As a cat owner, I’m very comfortable caring for cats of different personalities. I have experience with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the space they need to feel comfortable. I understand cats body language and prioritize keeping cats calm, safe, and stress free while their owners are away.
About: I’m a dedicated animal lover who relocated to Springfield, MO about a year ago, and I’m excited to continue caring for pets in my new community. I previously volunteered with the SPCA, where I gained hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and positive—qualities that help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves to play or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to meet their needs. I’m very active and enjoy engaging pets with activities like fetch, walks, and interactive play. Having grown up with multiple dogs and cats, I’m very familiar with daily care routines and animal behavior. I also have experience reinforcing basic commands such as sit, stay, wait, leash walking, roll over, and fetch. In addition, I’m comfortable with bathing and providing routine grooming care based on your pet’s specific needs and breed requirements. Building trust is extremely important to me. I use clear communication and patience to create a strong bond with every pet, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they would with family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already lead an active, structured lifestyle. I make time each day for walks, outdoor activity, and maintaining a consistent schedule, which allows me to easily accommodate feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and check-ins. I’m flexible throughout the week and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or extra attention for pets who need more companionship and activity. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I look forward to rather than simply fitting into my schedule. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs, whether I’m in my home or caring for them in a client’s home. My goal is to keep their environment as comfortable, consistent, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely—this includes feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific routines your pet is used to. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, play, and rest based on their energy level and temperament. I’m attentive to behavior, comfort, and any changes so I can respond quickly if needed. No matter the setting, I focus on building trust, maintaining consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve owned dogs myself, helped care for neighbors’ pets, and walked friends’ dogs over the years. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I understand pets thrive on consistency, and I’m happy to work with your routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and live in a safe south-side neighborhood with plenty of room for walks and playtime. Whether your pet loves to be active or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like family.

“I’ve been using Heather’s pet sitting services 2–3x/week for over 2 years now. She is the absolute best. She will provide such loving, enriching care for your dog. My dog is exhausted from all the play and excitement when I come to pick her up, and that’s exactly what she needs because she doesn’t get enough of that otherwise. Heather has gone out of her way countless times to make sure my dog is taken care of. I’d never consider another dog sitter at this point unless I absolutely had to.”

“First time ever leaving my fur babies with a stranger, and I am happy I chose the right person to do so. Courtney and her kids were incredibly helpful and took great care of my 10-year-old Boxer and 13-year-old Plott Hound. They made sure both dogs felt comfortable and at ease. Their home was clean and welcoming, and the kids and toys kept my dogs happy and entertained the whole time. Definitely would go back to Courtney if I am in town again!”

“Bree did a great job with my two needy dogs. We were in the midst of moving and with doors open, movers in and out, and Hoodini living again in the form of a dog, it was best they be some place more peaceful and secure. The second day there were excited to be out the door and off to the car to see Bree! They sat quietly most of the day watching doggy TV, which is what they needed. The dogs obviously liked her, even our shy reluctant one. I definitely taking them to her again! She knew they needed peace and quiet and gave them that.”

“Jill is a treasure! She's great with my dog, who loves her and got so excited to come back to her house. She sends lots of pictures and updates which I love. I highly recommend her!”

“Ashley's simply the best. You know someone knows dogs well when the dogs are happy and excited to go visit her. I can't say enough about how much thought and care she puts into everything her and her family do to help others out and their fur babies.”

“Sydney is great! I needed a sitter for my new puppy while I’m at work while she gets adjusted, and Sydney has been amazing. Love that my dog gets a chance to socialize with new people, visit with some cats, and get tired out and sleep through the night. Sydney has been a great communicator and very easy to get ahold of, with lots of flexibility with my schedule. Would absolutely recommend her!”

“Great with our two dogs! Extremely patient and kind with our very vocal husky mix, and skittish collie. There is plenty of room for dogs to feel safe in their own areas. Will be using again for sitting needs.”

“I am so thankful for Linda!! I was in a bind and needed someone to watch my Mabel fast! The very next day Linda was able to take her in and took very good care of my crazy pup! ❤️”

“The best sitter ever!!! I was in a rush to find day care at the last minute and i had to work at 8am the next day. Thank God I found this amazing woman!! This was my first time on rover and my first time getting a doggie day care.

“Jennifer and her family are wonderful. If my dog could talk, I’m sure she would say the same. She stayed for 3 nights. Jennifer sent pictures and updates throughout the day. I have already booked with them for my next vacation. I am very thankful to have found Jennifer on Rover. Thank you thank you!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and enjoy spoiling them. I have two dogs and a chinchilla. We’ve previously owned cats as well but don’t have any in the home currently. I work Monday through Friday and have holidays off, which gives me plenty of time to spend with our pups. When I’m not working, I love playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel loved and spoiled. I would love the opportunity to welcome your pups into our home, give them lots of attention, and make them feel like part of the family. We have a large, fenced-in backyard where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, and explore. The yard is enclosed with a 5-foot chain-link fence to help keep everyone safe, including our dog Pepper, who loves to jump. We’re located in a quiet subdivision outside of town, away from busy highways, allowing us to provide a peaceful and secure environment for your pups to enjoy.

“Our super high separation anxiety diva lab was so happy when we picked her up and we got plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. She went on walks, was fed and had the cutest play mate while being taken care of by Tyler. Definitely recommend”

“Overall excellent experience! We really felt like our dog was well taken care of. We also appreciated the frequent updates and pictures! Plan to use again for our next trip!”


About: My financee, Garrett, and I have cared for the wellbeing of several types of dogs since we were children. We live together, but it will primarily be me who is home with the dogs and if you need help in your home, it will always be me you will speak too. We have two fur babies together and would love to help you care for yours! I work 3 minutes from home and can usually return with in a few hours on days when I have to go to the office, which is fairly rare. I do work a 9-5, but I work hybrid remote. I have a fully privacy fenced in back yard. I let my own dogs out every 3-5 hours for the bathroom, as they are grown and do not need let out much, but I am able to accomodate any bathroom schedule necessary. I am able to keep a meds and feeding schedule as well as an exercise schedule easily with my job flexabilty. Our dogs sleep with us and eat twice a day. We keep a clean, happy home and love to let our dogs out back to run and play often! In the evenings, my fiancee and I can walk your dog or dogs with our own babies as we have multiple leashes with dual or multi-capacity.

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent most of my life caring for and training them. My experience includes breeds such as American Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Pit Bulls, as well as many other types of dogs. I also fostered 12 dogs through the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri, working with a wide range of breeds including Mastiffs, Huskies, Heelers, and Terriers. Through fostering, I’ve helped dogs recovering from hip surgeries, heartworm treatment, and other medical needs, while also learning how to adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. Over the years, this experience has strengthened my ability to help all dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I'm available to board during the weekdays a majority of the time and sometimes weekends depending on availability. I'd be with your pet all day unless a quick grocery run or other short side quest. I have a fenced yard of about 0.40 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run and burn energy. My neighbor also has dogs, allowing for possible socialization if appropriate. I also have an XL crate available if needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for any dog. Otherwise, they would be with me playing and relaxing, if requested I can also walk with them and take them to some parks!
